Aim for this result
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How to proceed
- Play a tile matching either open chain end.
- Choose which end to use.
- Draw only when no tile fits.
- Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.
Your inputs
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A closer look at one example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
A common point of confusion
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
